According to ESPN.com’s Bill Williamson, the Oakland Raiders will be without cornerback Ronald Bartell for several weeks after he suffered a broken shoulder blade during Monday night’s loss to the Chargers.
“Bartell has a broken left shoulder blade. Because no surgery is needed, his recovery time could be less than six weeks. There is hope he could be back in four weeks. Bartell is meeting with a specialist to get more information,” Williamson reported.
This is a tough break for the Raiders. They brought in Bartell as a free agent to be their number one corner.

Oakland Raiders: The autumn wind is a long snapper
The San Diego Chargers defeated the Oakland Raiders 22-14 on Monday night in front of a West Coast and sleepy East Coast television audience to what turned out to be a lackluster game. (I’m sorry to the east coast people who stayed up for such a sloppy performance.)
